Description: New York University's Tisch School of the Arts is one of the nation's leading centers of undergraduate and graduate study in the performing and media arts.

The Tisch School's building is actually 4 buildings that have been combined into one, offering state-of-the-art facilities for study in acting, photography, film, television and interactive telecommunications.

Edwards & Zuck is providing specialized and inventive engineering designs in various departments throughout the facility: a performance auditorium, a network of post-production film and video editing suites, and a special new media project.

Project Type: Education, Building Infrastructure Upgrade

Project Highlights:

• Converting basement spaces into auditorium/assembly rooms. Because of very low ceiling, close coordination with architect required to design non-obtrusive duct-work. Utilized sub-basement to two 50-ton air handling units with special acoustic damping, plus special air-filtration system to improve air quality because outside intake is from street/sidewalk level
• Phased project, support systems for new 20-suite editing facility. Special noise/acoustic considerations to assure quiet conditions ineach individual suite.
